Product Information

• Name: Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide
• Synonyms: Myristyltrimethylammonium bromide, N,N,N-Trimethyl-1-tetradecanaminium bromide, Trimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide is a cationic surfactant that inhibits the activity of bacterial cells via interactions with the Toll-like receptor, a protein that plays an important role in the innate immune system. This molecule has been shown to have antibacterial efficacy against wild-type and benzalkonium chloride-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide also suppresses the growth of Hl-60 cells by inhibiting DNA polymerase activity. Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide is soluble in water and has a molecular weight of 438.5 g/mol. It was synthesized from monoethyl ether and hl-60 cells were used as biological samples to measure its rate constant through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
